About

Why this artist matters now

Hans Haacke is a German-born, New York-based artist whose installations, photographs, and text-based works expose the entanglement of art institutions with corporate power, real-estate capital, and political authority. His systems-oriented practice, rooted in physical and social processes, has been presented at the Venice Biennale and the New Museum, among other institutions.
